With a new kitty we've brought into our home. Here is the story on him and I can provide any other details that you might need.... just ask!
I'm writing to you in hopes that you may provide a solution to a problem I've gotten myself into. Towards the end of winter we had a young kitten show up on our porch, quite tame but obviously an outside cat. He decided to hang around.....kinda the side effect to my feeding him. After a neighborhood search yielded no answeres to his owners whereabouts we made the decision to get him neutered. During this same timeframe our son decided he wanted a cat. Personifiying an animal can be a very dangerous thing, but I couldn't help but feel that were we to adopt another cat....this little guy would be outside looking in and wondering why we didn't choose him. Fast forward a bit - he has been neutered and declawed and living inside with us for several months.
The problem is he is a wired little guy (the local vet estimates him to be around 1 year old .) But he has taken to constantly seeking out our older cat as his personal plaything....and he doesn't understand the word no. Our older cat is around 12 years old and lives a very relaxed life. We take precautions to ensure everyones safety - Cosmo is kept in a private bedroom when we are away from the house or when we go to bed. I'm reaching out in hopes that someone will have some suggestions to help with Cosmo....I'm at the point where either I find something that helps, or I need to find him a new home that is more suitable to him because it isn't fair to continually close him in his room whenever he decides to go after Simba (our older male)
Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.
I look forward to hearing from you.
